"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."           - Albert Einstein
I wonder if Mr. Einstein was a quilter???  LOL........

I will be talking to Mr. Random tomorrow morning as soon as I have my morning coffee to see who he has chosen to be the lucky winner of my very first giveaway so hopefully we can get a few more entries between now and then.............  Here is the Link for those of you who haven't seen the giveaway:

So anyway...........I have been trying to get back into the groove of the JustTakes2 mystery quilt-a-long.

I was able to get #7 and #8 of the  blocks done this week.....and not without a little trouble........which I attribute to my desire to get to work on my Name Game Swap over at Samelia's Mum.....I am still waiting for some fabric for that project but I have enough to get started on it and I can't seem to concentrate on any other projects right now so I think maybe I was just too much in a hurry........but anyway, here they are:

bLOCK 7

bLOCK8

Block8 was paper-pieced.  It was more fun (and more forgiving) than Block7...there is a little dark shading which not really on the block....(I think maybe it is the shadow of my head taking the photo...haha)

I still have Blocks 8,9,10, and 11 to finish before the next group comes out the first of the month........

The good news is that I am getting more projects started and I actually have a couple of UFO's now!  I feel so proud....haha......yeah I know I am somehow unclear on the concept of UFO's.......which we are supposed to want to get finished, right?  ...... but for now, having a UFO is making me feel more like a "seasoned" quilter.......so I will bask in my ignorance for awhile......will talk to you tomorrow.......TTFN
